Cleveland in vetoirg pension bills,
and especially We denouncs the spirit
manifested toward the MANNED and
disabled soldier, OF the country In the
language in which certain OF his vetoes
are couched, and We condemn as I'M
Just and unmerited his veto Of the de.
pendent pension bill, and declare that
II was in plain violation OF the nations
pledges to its defenders and Of the oft
repeated promises OF the Democratic
party Of the North, made.during polit-
icsl campaigns to secure votes. We
demR I'D OF Congress that 1t pass, and
OF the President that he approve,
liberal enactments psnsioning the SOL
diers Of the country, that the helpless
widows Of dead soldiers, regardless OF

and disabled soldiers, shall receive the
bounty OF the nation they fought to
save and which they richly deserve.
10. While favoring all proper legis.

IL. The frauds, forgerles and crimes
committed by the Democratic party In
Ohio, in the election for State officers
and members OF the g sneral Assem-
bly, In 1885, deserve the condemns.
ton and execration OF all honorable
men and we hereby commend and
indorse the action OF the Sixty.ssventh
General Assembly In preventing the
contamination OF these crimes, and In
enactipg registration lava applicable

by their repetition has been rendered
impossible. We further indorse and
commend the action Of the late Rs
publican Legislature In the proviE-
ions made by Ii for the establishment
OF a home for ditabled soldiers and
sailors, and for the levying OF taxes by
the Commissioners Of the several
counties for the support and mainte-
nance Of INDECENT soldiers and their
widows and children.
l3. We point with ist pride to the
enactment Of the Dow law in fulfil.
ment Of the promise OF the Republi.

such further legislation as may be
necessary to keep abreast with en-.
| lightened public sentiment on this
question, 10 the end that the evils 10.
sulting from the traits in iutoxlcatinp
liquors be restrained 10 the utmost
possible extent in all parts OF the
State.
